This is just my thoughts not facts. All though I think I heard rumors that even though the win 10 upgrade was indeed free, they are planning charging an annual user fee. The amounts very depending on what version you are using, and I believe it starts at $100for home and $200 for premium and probabl...

To deniz111; When you install XPSP3 make sure you have shut off access to the internet, and run live install of SP4exe. Then you'll be safe to turn on internet access. Don't ask me why this is the best way, but for those who choose not to intergrate SP4 it is.

Have you heard of Fernando 1? He is the expert of SATA/AHCI driver intergration? He has three seperate drivers which are those for Intel, nforce, and AMD motherboards. Here is a quote by him ;" If you have done everything the right way, but the XP Setup will not detect the SATA hdd running in AHCI m...

I am sorry that a lot of times I do not understand what the posts really are saying. I use the the driverpacks method as it the way I have always done this. For me it is the easiest as it works for me. That does not mean it is the best way. I think direct driver intergration with nlite is better but...

I probably am not getting this again with some comments like I have 8 gigs or 16 gigs of ram so I do not want to install xp on this pc without the ram patch ...ect ect. Now I have 6 gigs of RAM in this pc and I do not have a problem at all with putting XP on here without any ram patch. It runs fine....

I would love the mass storage/Raid drivers included in SP for XP. Then I wouldn't have to even use the driverpacks or any other method or integrating the proper drivers to even get XP setup to run. I don't have a problem but, if it were possible to make things simpler. Microsoft included them in lat...

Fear zigsaw; I went back and thought about what you wrote on your post on 04-02-16 explaining in detail the different ways you made your XPSP4 ISO setups, and whether you included chipset driverpacks in the build with the ram patch or left the driverpack out of the ISO, and then installed your chips...

Have you ran mem check fear jigsaw? You might have a bad memory module(stick). :rolleyes: Will definitely not be memory as Im testing on 3x independent hardware chassis ;) .... ALL 3 these chassis works 100% perfectly fine when I omit the ram patch ... only reason I would like to get said patch wor...

I forgot to mention that before running nlite I updated the nlite folder with the latest 7zip files. I don't remember where I saw to do this. I remember that it seemed important by person that posted to do so. Sorry, but just thought I'd share now.

fear jigsaw; Maybe those motherboard chipset drivers that you load after the OS is installed are corrupt. Or conflict with the ram patch fix you have applied to the OS setup ISO?? I wish I could definitively point to your problem, but I am at a lost to be perfectly helpful, sorry.

My fault fear zigsaw I miss understood what you were doing, sorry. Yea I don't apply the ram fix on my setup. Ghost has got it right in MHO the way he does it is best, but I'm not that smart to figure out the right drivers to intergrate so I use driver packs, and it achieve the same results but the ...

I run nlite to slipstream service packs and apply update packs when applicable and to give an answer file to the setup for an unattended setup. After I am done using nlite for all that is necessary I run driverpacks to intergrate whatever drivers I want or need such the mass storage drivers and anyt...

If you integrate the chipset driver to the ISO you do not have to rerun a driver chipset after the system is in a live working boot. Setup is done. The drivers being intergrated in the setup. I know I am sounding redudent but running a chipset driver after the new install is also. The point of putti...

The way I'm seeing this fear zigsaw is if it were me, I wouldn't install whatever drivers that is messing things up. ie; if it works don't fix it. Right? Any way that's my two cents worth. So let's see if I'm understanding your problem. 1st: you are working in an XP environment while building the XP...

There are a lot of really great people and I would just like too give them a very big thank you for all that these selfless people have contributed in this and the other threads you all may well know. nono-fabio, user-hidden, 5eraph, one-piece, windowsX (themepack maker), and last but not least hark...

Thank you fear jigsaw. You all can call me cuz, but I have found when installing USB drivers I need to do it on an installed system and must go slow and let it take its time for proper installation. Hope that helps you. I use driverpacks dot net mass storage and chipset only. I use nlite to intergra...

Hope I can contribute to this discussion. I'm not that knowledgeable, but I do have 14 years of working with XP and I've picked up somethings along the way. Any way good morning, it's 6 am est and time to get some coffee.
